Houston, the Nation's sixth largest city, is taking appropriate steps to assure an adequate water supply for its industrial and population needs for the year 2000. Houston's situation is unusual in that it now relies on groundwater sources for 80 percent of its domestic water supply but must...
In doing so, we also attempt to present a decision support tool that allows us to tell how much of a land area may be considered in simulation such that the model resolution definitively captures the contribution of soil from different sub-watershed sources. This was done by forcing the ...
Houston's water and wastewater system could be more resilient with the development of hybrid urban water supply systems that combine conventional, centralized water sources with reclaimed wastewater, according toa studyby Rice University engineers now published inNature Water. "Such a system will save ...
Integrating spectral indices with other data sources, such as ancillary data and ground truth information, can enhance the accuracy and reliability of LULC change classification results. 3.1.4. Change Detection Change detection is the process of identifying and quantifying areas of change in the ...
for plankton even compared to control treatments without added detritus. Deciduousness makes emergent plants useful for building up peat in tidal marshes, and for naturally cleaning waterways of excess nutrients, but ultimately makes them less suitable for growing plankton than other sources of detritus...
The genera Afipia and Sphingomonas were found in lower relative abundance in the two other locations (i.e., in Houston, TX and Austin, TX). However, the distinct water sources for the Knoxville and Oak Ridge samples, the Tennessee River for Knoxville and the Clinch River for Oak Ridge, ...

Precipitation-based assessments show a lengthening of tropical dry seasons under climate change, without considering simultaneous changes in ecosystem water demand. Here, we compare changes in tropical dry season length and timing when dry season is defi
Mineral Potential of Produced Water using Carbon Dioxide.” He introduced the topic at the Middle East Water Week Conference and Exhibition held in December 2023 inSaudi Arabiaand reported his most recent discoveries at the Annual Produced Water Society Conference on February 2024 in Houston, Texas....
Water resources worldwide are under severe stress from increasing climate variability and human pressures. In the tropical Andes, pre-Inca cultures developed nature-based water harvesting technologies to manage drought risks under natural climatic extremes. While these technologies have gained renewed attent...
